Maternity Workout Gear

Pre-pregnancy I wore Nike running gear, comfy and wicks away moisture! Then I wore underarmour for lifting... the material definitely wicks away sweat and gives just the right amount of compression.

Up until this week, I have still been able to wear my Nike running gear for my workouts... (I was too big for underarmour by about 8 weeks)but yesterday, my shorts were pressing against the baby bump and my shirt was too short to cover the new belly..

I have looked EVERYWHERE to find maternity running gear but can not seem to find anything but cruddy cotton or YOGA gear. Have you ever tried to wear YOGA pants to run in? Instant butcrack exposal...and cotton? fuhgettaboutit! I am not going to wear a dripping wet cotton outfit to run in!

Sorry for the rant! Any fit mamas have some good suggestions for running gear that is comfortable and "techy" enough?!

Ladies, I am losing my mind!

Same prob here!!! They just don't make preg. workout stuff!---don't know why??? I just went out and had to buy bigger stuff for now...(usually wear a small, and went to a large) But I know that's only temporary...probably going to be wearing my DH stuff toward the end LOL!!

I bought a few large tops but they look so weird (I am also usually a small) They just seem boxy on top and tight around the belly! I snagged a pair of DHs pants just to see if they'd work and they are so big in the thighs that I worry they will chafe - you know? I am reaaaallly frustrated. You'd think someone would have designed a maternity line by now!

Hi!I found this website www.bornfit.com. Has all the techy wicking gear for running and other sports that I've found to also be very difficult to find :) I'm also an avid runner and this has been the best website I've found so far with options!Good luck and happy running!

Also http://fitmaternity.com/. Looks like they have good prices and they also have the maternity support belt I have my eye on if my belly needs a little "lift." I'm a runner, and I read a lot online before getting pregnant. Lisa Jhung from Runner's World wrote a blog called Baby Steps for a couple of years and she recommended this site.

I'm in my regular running gear now but I think I'll need some additional room here in the next few weeks so I plan to try some stuff from this site.

I recall Lisa's tales.. I actually had ordered some things from fitmaternity when I was pregnant with my son. The shorts I ordered from them fit really awkwardly on my frame and chafed my belly. They were bulky and would bunch up between my legs when I ran. Its possible that they have changed over the last few years though - so, let me know how they work foryou if you end up ordering from them!

the running shorts on fitmaternity are actually bornfit's challenger short - better yet, they are $1 cheaper on fitmaternity and come in white too. I am not sure if I should order a small or a medium! It looks like born fit is out of their charcoal in a medium but fitmaternity has them in white.... I think im just going to order a black pair in a medium and see how they fit! I dont want them to be too lose but with the rate im growing this week im more worried they will be too tight!

Alright ladies, I went to both bornfit and fitmaternity - fitmaternity actually had born fit's "Challneger" short for $38 in white or black (born fits website had just black for $39 and then also a charcoal pair but it only came in an XL) . So, I ordered the born fit shorts in both white and black from fitmaternity. They had a flat rate for shipping (ground) but they arrived in just 2 days! I was a small prepregnancy so I ordered a medium hoping they woul dbe extra roomy for my quickly expanding belly. The medium fits me perfectly... roomy in the legs but cool and moisture wicking. The waist band fits snugly around the low part of my belly but I am worried about how long they will fit - they seem to run rather small for maternity gear. So, if any of you decide to order these, I def recommend sizing up.
